this %#@! life x8

There are things, there are creatures about

With big hands and cavernous mouths
That's what I'm afraid of these days


I peeled the wings off a rat today
I saw myself in her as she limped away
That's what I'm afraid of these days


There are things, things that only I see
There are creatures, and they're out to get me

That's what I'm afraid of these days

Glued some wings to the back of a spider

Looked up for validation, but I could not find it
No one's more scared than I am these days


So say it 'cause I can see it
You've got the look of a skeptic in headlights
So shall I go on? Have I gone on too long?

"Cue the music 'cause this speaker is scaring the kids"
"The children are trembling",
Rightfully so, rightfully so


Pray tell me again because there's a nest in my ear
And one behind my eyes

Obscurity and his family
Are having their fun with my poor mind


They've made a mess of my vision,
And a mess of my sight
I should have been seeing friends


So say it 'cause I can see it
You've got the look of a believer on trial

So shall I go on? Have I gone on too long?
Cue the music 'cause I'm starting to scare myself


"The children are trembling"
Rightfully so, rightfully so


So say it 'cause I can see it
You've got the look of a skeptic in headlights
So shall I go on? Have I gone on too long?

Cue the lights because the darkness is taking its toll
